Isabella Emike Olatunji, an advocate and community leader, has been crowned Mrs. Canada Globe 2025-2026. This marks her as the first Nigerian woman to represent Manitoba as a delegate, become a Mrs. Canada finalist, and win the national title. Isabella Olatunji was also honoured with the Queen of Peace Award, reflecting her commitment to peacebuilding and humanitarian efforts.
As Mrs. Canada Globe, Isabella’s platform is an extension of her Master’s degree in Peace and Conflict Studies from the University of Manitoba. Her advocacy focuses on eliminating period poverty through her organisation, Kingdom Minded Queens (KMQ), which she established in 2018. To date, Isabella has provided over 300 menstrual hygiene kits to vulnerable populations both locally and internationally, including a pledge to provide 100 kits for Manitoba wildfire evacuees. Her reign will focus on expanding access to menstrual products across Canada, drawing inspiration from models in Scotland and New Zealand, and promoting dignified living for all Canadians.
Isabella’s journey reflects the leadership of Annie Manjuran, the Founder and CEO of Mrs. Canada Inc. The pageant, founded on the principle of “beauty with purpose,” positions pageantry as a platform for women’s empowerment. Under Annie’s direction, the organisation has created an inclusive space for married women to showcase their intelligence, talent, and cultural heritage. Her initiative shows that a pageant can be a catalyst for positive change.
Isabella will represent Canada on the international stage at the Mrs. Globe pageant next year. The Mrs. Globe pageant is owned by Dr. Tracy Kemble and is part of the Women In Need (W.I.N.) Foundation International. Isabella aims to bring home the global crown—a title Canada has not held in over 30 years. Her journey is a national pursuit, and all support is welcome to assist her in this effort.
Isabella’s story is one of dedication to community empowerment and a commitment to social equity, showing that with purpose, beauty has no limits.
Isabella is the co-founder and director of operations at DTA Automotive Dealership and founder of Eleanor Luxury Apartments. She holds a Bachelor of Science in International Relations and Strategic Studies and a Joint Master’s degree in Peace and Conflict Studies. An advocate for menstrual hygiene product accessibility and community empowerment, Isabella is the founder of Kingdom Minded Queens (KMQ). She is a wife and mother of three, committed to lifelong learning, and active in numerous community initiatives across Winnipeg.
